Worm or weed? Cordyceps is neither of them. It is one kind of fungi like mushroom. And this kind of fungus contains some unique nutritional compositions, so it is known as the King of Chinese traditional medicine since antiquity. Over 400 species of Cordyceps fungus have been found all around the world, but only the Cordyceps sinensis which is parasitic on Hepialidae (i.e. bat moth) is recognized in Traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps mentioned in Chinese traditional medical books and other relevant research materials are all refer to Cordyceps Sinensis. In Japan, however, Cordyceps fungus is broadly defined as Cordyceps Sinensis by researchers.
In Japan, Cordyceps Militaris is broadly defined as “Cordyceps Sinensis”, which could be cultivated easily. But actually, Cordyceps Militaris and Cordyceps Sinensis are two different fungi. The fungus of our company is originated from the Tibetan plateau and it is the only Cordyceps Sinensis which is recognized in Traditional Chinese medicine.
Hypha is the most essential composition of Cordyceps Sinensis. Hyphae of Cordyceps Sinensis appear hoary inside larvae bat moth and fill up the mycelium. Hyphae of Fujiwara Cordyceps Sinensis share the same species and it could be identified from its colour.
Cordyceps Militaris, also known as cordyceps flower, is some kind of fungus parasitic on silkworm chrysalis. Easy to be artificially cultivated, Cordyceps Militaris is advertised as an alternate of Cordyceps Sinensis. These two fungi are different from their colour, scent and flavor, so basically saying, Cordyceps Militaris is not genuine Cordyceps Sinensis.
Genuine Cordyceps Sinensis only.
Fujiwara Corp. obtains harvest permission from origin. Every year, premium hyphae are collected from wild Cordyceps Sinensis. With our exclusive biotechnology, hyphae now can be commodified and mass produced. Our products are pure, non-impurity, safer and more effective.
We provide technology to factory in origin and signed contract with it. Raw materials are sterilized in accordance with Japanese regulations, imported via regulated channel and pass JFRL safety and composition test. Products are manufactured by GMP certified factory in Japan.
In recent years, wild Cordyceps Sinensis once again aroused public concern. Overharvesting leads to less output of wild Cordyceps Sinensis. High quality mycelia with full hyphae are more precious. Fujiwara Corps uses biotechnology to produce Cordyceps Sinensis with hyphae from premium fresh cordyceps and realizes a safe and stable production.
Cordyceps Sinensis contains cordycepin, cordycepic acid, SOD(i.e. orgotein), cordycepin polysaccharide, ergosterol and other endemic elements. Plus a variety of other amino-acid and minerals, Cordyceps Sinensis is acknowledged as a very special multi-nutrient resource and a rare herb with yin and yang equilibrium as well. Cordyceps Sinensis has no side effect for men and women. It regulates body functions and maintains homeostasis.
Cordyceps Sinensis is recognized as a magic herb to cure all diseases since ancient times. Descriptions like ‘Protect lung and tonifying kidney’ can be found in ancient Chinese medical books. Since 1987, it has been listed as Class-1 Chinese medicine crop. It enjoys advocacy by both medicinal nourishment and dietetic invigoration people.
冬虫夏草既不是虫也不是草,和蘑菇一样是一种真菌。这种另类的菌类含有一些独特的营养成分,自古以来被誉为中药之王。虫草菌在全世界约有400多种,但是中药汉方里唯一被认可的冬虫夏草只有寄生于蝙蝠蛾身上的中华冬虫夏草菌(学名Cordyceps Sinensis)。中药医学书等研究资料里凡是提到冬虫夏草的,都是指中华冬虫夏草菌。然而在日本,研究人员把虫草菌广义上都定义为冬虫夏草。
可以被简单培养的蛹虫草(Cordyceps Militaris)在日本的广义的定义下被认知为“冬虫夏草”。但是蛹虫草本来就与冬虫夏草是不同菌种。本公司所用的菌种是产地为中国青藏高原的唯一被中国汉方中药认可的中华冬虫夏草菌(Cordyceps Sinensis)。
菌丝是冬虫夏草最为主要的有用成分。在蝙蝠蛾幼虫体内,中华冬虫夏草菌Cordyceps Sinensis菌丝呈灰白色,充满虫体(菌丝体)。藤原冬虫夏草菌丝是与其相同菌种,可以从颜色上识别。
蛹虫草,又称北虫草或虫草花,是虫草菌Cordyceps militaris寄生在蚕蛹上面的一种菌。由于比较容易被人工栽培,常常被商家作为冬虫夏草的替代品来宣传。原本就不是同种,所以无论从颜色,气味还是味道上都和真正的冬虫夏草有所不同。
只使用真正的中华冬虫夏草菌Cordyceps sinensis。
藤原株式会社在当地获得采集许可,每年会从野生的冬虫夏草里提取高品质的菌丝,以独自的生物技术使菌丝实现产品化,量产化。成分单纯,不含杂质更安全,更高效。
与当地工厂签约,提供生产技术。按照日本政府规定要求除菌,正规渠道进口到日本,并且在日本食品检测中心接受安全与成分测试。通过日本国内GMP认定工厂生产产品。
近几年,随着野生冬虫夏草再次被关注,乱采集的现象也日趋严重,导致了野生虫草产量的急剧下降。虫体内菌丝饱满的高品质个体就更少了。藤原品牌的冬虫夏草是利用了生物科技技术,从优质新鲜虫草中提取菌丝,进而实现安全稳定量产。
冬虫夏草含有虫草素,虫草酸,SOD超氧化物歧化酶(又名肝蛋白),虫草多糖 麦角固醇等诸多特有成分,外加其他多种氨基酸以及矿物质的存在使得冬虫夏草成为一种非常特殊的混合型营养资源。也是一种稀有的阴阳平衡的中医药材。冬虫夏草无副作用男女均可服用,调节身体机能,维持体内平衡。
自古以来冬虫夏草被誉为能治百病的仙草,中国古代医学书上早有“保肺 益肝”的功效记述。1987年在中国被认定为一级中药,无论在药补或食补领域都深受各界欢迎。
